XEARTH.MPG is an Xing-compatible mpeg (160x120 x 36 frames).

I first rendered the "Earth" using Pov-Ray2.0... the image is a sphere
with the texture{ bump_map { gif .... of a topological photo of the world.
then I applied the pigment { image_map { gif ... of a color picture at the
same resolution.
Hense, the globe is a semi-true model of the world.

After generating 36 frames (10' rotation each) I passed the resulting TGA's
thru CMPEG which generated my animation.

Please mail any comments to kaminsky@cse.psu.edu
F.Y.I. this is my first attempt at animation, but heah, I'm impressed.
